Don't have too much experience w/ G10 I guess - its not as grippy as micarta - but the shape of the Ranger handle and the CGFBM handle won't let it slip out the front of your hand even if it was slippery - they both have a substantial pommel.

I like the looks of G10 better for sure.

Overall I really like G10 I guess. I'm not very good w/ "on the spot" responses, but I love my pair of matching Rangers - the grips feel real nice - and the CGFBM has an awesome set of G10 mag grips, but I haven't chopped with it yet.

I don't have enough chopping experience to choose a favorite as of yet though. I've only been chopping w/ the RD9/DF once. I'm taking them both with me fishing tomorrow, so I'll have more to report then.
